NIGHT VISION DEVICE Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: optoelectronic engineering.

SUBSTANCE: night vision device has lens, direct-transport image intensifier with power unit, ac generator with rotation gear, voltage rectifier, ionistor, channel-division erection system for both eyes, and lenses. Mounted in focal plane of lenses are central-symbol liquid-crystal displays with range scale and digital segments; liquid-crystal displays are connected to driver control unit and the latter is connected to microprocessor unit; two flux gates are connected to flux-gate signal processing unit and the latter is connected to microprocessor unit; inclinometer is connected to inclinometer-signal processing unit and the latter is connected to microprocessor unit; control and change-over unit is connected to microprocessor unit; one of flux gates is installed in parallel and other one, perpendicular to optical axis of lens in horizontal plane; various modes of measuring and processing signals arriving from flux gates and inclinometer are invoked in control and change-over unit through flux-gate signal processing unit and inclinometer-signal processing unit, respectively, with aid of microprocessor unit followed by supplying processed signals of driver control unit to liquid-crystal displays for visualizing digital values of measured parameters.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability of inputting digital data on bearing, elevation, and range to object of observation in device field of vision.
